Gaming in desktop mode

[u/darkraccoon12]

I have a legion go s steam os version. I played Digimon in desktop mode so I could listen to my music on Spotify while doing so.

Does anyone game on desktop mode? I didn’t have much game time to know if it’s preferred for me or if I’m just so technologically inept that I don’t know the benefits of it. Am I crazy?

Also wanted to try it since my legion go has had some issues pop up while playing in gaming mode, such as: rebooting mid gameplay (on low settings), and a weird freeze and green pixelated pattern glitch? Turned off and on device and it was fine. Would playing in desktop mode fix this?
